In close readings of these \"texts,\" Stefanie K. Dunning explores the ways in which the interracial intersects with queerness, blackness, whiteness, class, and black national identity. She shows that representations of interracial desire do not follow the logic of racial exclusion. Instead they are metaphorical and anti-biological. Rather than diluting race, interracial desire makes race visible. By invoking the interracial, black gay and lesbian artists can remake our conception of blackness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e 1. \"Ironic Soil\": Recuperative Rhythms and Negotiated Nationalism\u003cbr\u003e 2. \"No Tender Mercy\": Same-Sex Desire, Interraciality, and the Black Nation\u003cbr\u003e 3.
